I am really estatic. I am a fan of Castlevania (Original and Metriodvania) and I have to announce it, like right now. For 900 Wii points, you can download the game.

I wish more efforts were made to make consumers much more informed.

BTW, I believe this to be the PC-Engine CD version, eh?

I think I'll finish Circle of the Moon before I get this. Then Castlevania Rebirth.

I have the game on PSP so I'm not sure if I'm going to get this release or not.

FINALLY! some obscure has finally arrived!

Jeez I was worried.

On a serious note: the game looks awesome, but lets be honest and admit no one was waiting for this game.

I advise you to pass on Rebirth, Emilio, it really is a bland affair, just as Contra Rebirth is. I already have the game on PSP "

I have yet to get a PSP even though I still have plans to get one eventually. I already got the Virtual Consol version. There are a few things I don't like about the game.
1) You can't skip cutscenes
2) They didn't made no localizations (I wish an english option was made)

although I will have to take the wait and see approach.

Wow, Rondo is one tough cookie. Most Castlevania games are easy for me. Not this one. It's like 1988 again when I had to replay Castlevania for the NES over and over again until I mastered it. Still, I'm glad that I finally got the opportunity to play this game.

The game is already on the PSP so this isn't a huge deal.

It was also already on PC Engine so that wasn't a huge deal either. Ok, move along.

@Godwind:
I got this game last night! Wahh the intro was so crazy and all in German or some other foreign language (Sorry, I'm American. We don't get educated about you foreign people over here)

The CD audio is really great too. I'm always amazed at how great the Turbo-CD games sound.

Sigh... The TurboGrafx/PC Engine was a nice console for its time, wasn't it? Thank you for the memories NEC/Hudson/Konami.

This game was one of the only reasons I considered buying a PSP besides a few other games of interest. Needless to say, I'm happy I can finally play it in its original form.

It just was not popular in the states. In japan however, it was a huge deal.

The music to the opening level of this game is surely one of the greatest themes of all time.

#16 Posted by trophyhunter (5804 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

it was put out like 2 years ago in the PSP as part of Dracula X chronicles.

That's pretty cool, finally a legal home console release of rondo stateside. Goddamn it's been a long time coming, but I was hoping it'd show up on the xbox or PS3 instead, ah well.
